Suspects usually don't smile when they're caught stealing a police car, unless that suspect is a pitbull named Cujo.

In a Facebook post over the weekend, The Kilgore Police Department said the pitbull "hijacked" one of their officer's patrol cars over the weekend, after the officer responded to an animal control call Saturday.

The dog was reportedly aggressive, and the officer tried to lure the animal into the back of his car. Then, the officer realized he left his driver door open.

"Cujo decided he wasn't going to jail and instead jumped into the front seat," according to the post. "As the Officer tried to get him out of the front drivers seat, Cujo became aggressive. The door was shut to prevent injury to the dog or Officer. The Officer's car had been hijacked!!!"

The officer snapped a photo of the dog apparently smiling in driver's seat. Cujo enjoyed the air conditioning and the officer's beef jerky, according to the post.

The officer was eventually able to take the dog safely into custody. The post has since garnered more than 4,500 likes and 1,700 shares.

"The only injury sustained in this incident was to the Officers pride," the post said.
